• You will receive 20 credits for successfully completing the internship.
• In the course materials for SB200Reg and SB200, you will find both document templates and a folder entitled ‘Important Information’, where we state all internship deadlines and conditions.

To successfully complete the internship, you must fulfil the following steps:

Internship conditions

• During your placement, you can work as a systems administrator, network administrator, Security Operations Centre (SOC) operator, member of CSIRT teams, junior or middle management in cybersecurity, software engineer for secure IT applications and systems, or as a trainer or assistant to cybersecurity managers.

Recommendations

• Start looking as soon as possible. If you don’t know where to start, check the listings from the Association of Industrial Partners of the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University; register on JobCheckIN, jobs.cz, Indeed, LinkedIn and other sites.
